Overview

Windows Wheel devices, such as the Surface Dial, are a new category of input device that enable a host of compelling and unique user interaction experiences for Windows and Windows apps.

Important

In this topic, we refer specifically to Surface Dial interactions, but the info is applicable to all Windows Wheel devices

...

With a form factor based on a rotate action (or gesture), the Surface Dial is intended as a secondary, multi-modal input device that complements input from a primary device. In most cases, the device is manipulated by a user's non-dominant hand while performing a task with their dominant hand (such as inking with a pen). It is not designed for precision pointer input (like touch, pen, or mouse). +

The Surface Dial also supports both a press and hold action and a click action. Press and hold has a single function: display a menu of commands. If the menu is active, the rotate and click input is processed by the menu. Otherwise, the input is passed to your app for processing.

...

Developer guidance

You can customize the Surface Dial experience to complement the functionality in your apps through a comprehensive set of Windows Runtime APIs. +

As previously mentioned, the default Surface Dial menu is pre-populated with a set of built-in tools covering a broad range of basic system features (system volume, system brightness, scroll, zoom, undo, and media control when the system detects ongoing audio or video playback). However, these default tools might not provide the functionality required by your app. +

In the following sections, we describe how to add a custom tool to the Surface Dial menu and specify which built-in tools are exposed.

...

Custom interactions

Summary

This topic provides an overview of the Surface Dial input device with UX and developer guidance on how to customize the user experience for off-screen scenarios as well as on-screen scenarios when used with Surface Studio.

"The Surface Dial, and the RadialController API provide an interesting new input metaphor. You may have some ideas of how you could use it but don’t actually have the hardware. Since I tried creating an Etch-a-Sketch app using the dial I was thinking about how to implement a second dial.

Most of us already have a mouse with a central wheel. I decided that for the purposes of prototyping apps for the dial, or to implement a second dial-like device I could create an API around that wheel. There are a few limitations but the basic functionality is the same. The SimulatedRadialController class was born and after a few tweaks to adjust for the fact the mouse wheel reports movement in large steps (30 degrees in my testing) so I reduced this down to perform smaller movements.

"Microsoft have demonstrated how the Surface Dial can be used in conjunction with Pen input for drawing, but what about drawing with the Dial itself?

For those of us with warm memories of the Etch-a-Sketch I thought it would be fun to replicate the experience with the Surface Dial. Now of course there is a big caveat – you only have a single Dial to use at a time. This can be worked around by using the Click functionality of the Dial – Tapping the top of the dial switches between horizontal and vertical drawing.
